I wonder if this is a Nigerian factor. The best way as a staffer to avoid such awkward situation is to just try and be diplomatic about your exit -- perhaps conceal some details and just give them the surface. Some people even have to tell a lie. It's sad. 3 Likes |

Threesha:I can relate with this, back then I was working for a ' big' player in the healthcare industry ( The first EMS company in Nigeria). I was in the operations department and in the midst of a deep pocket project ( I was handling the health screening for this big football academy that has affiliation with the Catalans). The man at the top wanted to draft me into marketing. I kept saying No. When the pressure was too much, I decided to quit. I was on annual leave when I made the decision. I gave the company 1 month notice, but the man said it wasn't enough. I gave my resignation letter to the HR manager, he was surprised but he understood my reasons. He told me to discuss with the boss. So I went to the Boss's office to book appointment but because it was me, the secretary was bold to ask him if he wants to see me directly based on my resignation letter. He said, no. 'He does not want to see me at all' . The Secretary fought back tears as she told me. I went back to the HR manager, I told him. I will bring another letter of resignation with immediate effect. He opened his mouth, thought I was joking. I went downstairs to type the new resignation letter, I sent out notice of resignation with immediate effect to all my colleagues and managers via email. I walked back upstairs to the HR, he collected the letter, looked at it, looked back at me and said Mr X, we should not allow you to go like this. He stood up, wanting to go back to the boss with the letter again. I said no, but he pleaded with me. He came back later feeling dejected and sorry. I told him to sign off on the letter. I took my copy of the signed resignation letter to IT and account departments to sign off as well. I submitted all company paraphernalia. I left as a human being, a living soul. All the top echelon of the workforce left that company within six months. The HR manager left two months after I left. I got a very good job in the same month, A Toyota sponsored Hospital in Lagos, when I left this hospital, it was all love, cakes, hugs and kisses. #MYEXPERIENCE. 14 Likes 2 Shares

It depends mostly on the company, most well structured company do not do this. However, you should be aware that once and employee hands in his resignation there are some information about the company he should no longer be privy to 2 Likes |

Nigerian employers don't deserve any courtesy. I turned my resignation from abroad, na dem come dey beg me to do am well. If you give them notice, it is a time for you to also do Shakira, don't let anyone treat you anyhow. Then you can invoke all your rights according to the company policy, because now no threat should scare you. The bosses used to be like "I'll sack you". Now you should be like, "oga make the sack come now abeg". No go kii yourself for these employers who don't value you, who only think they are doing you a favor by keeping you. Nigerian employers are social demons, I detest most of them, especially local ones. If I give you resignation notice, I don turn to king be that na. If you wan force me do any official thing I go sick by force go hospital go take bed. Nonsense. 3 Likes |

My experience was brutal, it was with a Nigerian owned food and beverage company, they are big player but still a one man business. Immediately I told my boss I want to resign, I wrote the letter through my HOD to the HR, then the HOD then said I need to see my team leader first, next thing he started asking me why and when I started thinking of leaving, I told him not so long, told me to add I'm leaving due to personal reason, then next he put query on my resignation letter. I asked why did he put query on my resignation letter then he started saying some personal stuffs like how I didn't pick his call on one weekend I can't even remember, how something happened during production that isn't related to my job discription. That moment I knew I can't give notice, he will use me as a scapegoat for all his shortcoming, I told the HR that my leaving will be immediate, HR asked why I just told him nothing, that I'm just moving on. They filed the query with my resignation letter. I left everything to God, some boss can't handle their subordinate moving for a better prospect or quitting because they themselves don't have the gut to do it. It was a great experience anyway. I have learnt that at work place you must be very political in every relationship, you have no friends, it's a game of dog eat dog. Only talk when you are asked to talk and say little and in everything let silence be your goal, someone somewhere is noting everything you say and it might be used against you in the future. Till now my old work mate still monitors my movement and want to know how am doing to template and metric their self worth. It's best to keep work for work and friends for friends. People that move up the lather in a work environment are people that share little to nothing about themselves, let it be your goal that the only thing your colleague at work knows about you is your name and probably what you do at work, your academic background, family, what you do outside work should be something like a long research for them, be discreet. Because I can't give a month notice again due to the situation, I paid back one month basic salary along with the remaining leave allowance. One of the best decision I ever took. 10 Likes |

jclassiq:That's the best way, anything you say will be used against you. Let say you are leaving because of unfair abuse and treatment from a boss, they might say you are rude etc. One of my good boss back then resigned and said he want to take a political position in his hometown back then but moved to a rivalry company, I laughed back then but later realize myself it was a smart move. You own nobody why you are leaving, just do what's best for you and your career. 6 Likes |

JoshTheStoic:Exactly! I used the same tactic when i worked in Abuja. I had to tell a lie not because i was concerned about needing them for reference later on, but because i needed them to pay me what they owed me. Coincidentally, it happened that the manager then was an easy going man that respected me a lot. He gave me his word, and i left in peace. 2 Likes |
